You are probably like a lot of women: you want to change your style, but have no idea what changes to make or where to begin. This can be even more difficult to do if you do not understand your body type and how to dress for your figure. If you are wondering about what women's clothing is best for your specific shape, this article may have some useful information for you.


Knowing your body shape before going on a shopping trip will help you choose the right clothes. You may be any one of the following types: rectangular, hourglass, apple, or pair shaped.


A pear shaped person is someone who is smaller on top than they are on the bottom. If your hips measure at a greater width than that of your bust, you are pear shaped. Some people may be pear shaped, but it may not even be that noticeable.


The apple shape has shoulders that are broader than the hips. Your legs may be quite slender, which can make your body seem disproportionate.


The hourglass figure is a shape that many women wish to be. This shape is very well balanced because the size of the hips and bust are almost even. The waist will also be very well defined.


Some women are very thin and do not really have any curves. If someone with this type of shape develops a great deal of muscle, they may look somewhat masculine.


If you happen to be a pear shaped body type, then the goal for your clothing is to create balance. Your clothes should draw more attention up to your face and take some of it away from your bottom. Try on tops that have detailing or vibrant colors and patterns. When dressing up, A-line skirts and dresses will look fantastic on you.


For the apple shaped body type, layering may look quite flattering. Try lightweight camisoles with a nice cardigan or jacket. V-necks may also produce a slimming effect, but stay away from tops with tons of detailing, like ruffles or rouching. When it comes to dressing up, A-line skirts and dresses are probably best.


The hourglass figure may be the easiest to dress. Almost anything will look good on someone with this shape. However, if you are quite curvy, it may be a little more difficult. If this is the case, try looking for shirts that lengthen your body. Scoopnecks and V-necks are a good choice. Jeans with a bit of a flare may also bring more balance and try dresses that hug and show off your curves.


If you are very thin and do not have any curves, you may want to look for clothes that make you like you do have curves. A dress with a belt around the waist may help create the illusion that your hips are larger than they are. Also, jeans with back pockets that are wide apart can make your butt look fuller. To make your top half look curvier, give wrap tops and V-necks a try.
